Fans hoping to see the deleted scenes of Jailer 2 on OTT are in for a disappointment. The film’s OTT runtime is 2 hours 43 minutes, exactly the same as the theatrical version. The team has made no changes for streaming, so there will be no uncut or extended version.
Jailer 2 starts streaming on Prime Video from November 12 in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.
Why Fans Wanted the Uncut Version
Several scenes were cut from Jailer 2 to keep the runtime in check, and fans were hoping those portions would come back in the OTT version. There had been plenty of talk about the film getting around 30 minutes of extra footage on streaming. That isn’t happening now.
The Scenes That Didn’t Make It
Mohanlal: His role in the film was trimmed. There was talk that a body double had been used for some of his scenes, and Nelson is said to have kept only the portions Mohanlal shot himself.
Vijay Sethupathi: He is said to have shot around 10 minutes of scenes, but only about one minute made it into the final cut. The rest was removed because of the runtime.
Santhanam: He shot an extended cameo for the film, and stills from the shooting spot have confirmed his involvement. His scenes were cut completely, and the team has not explained why.
A Missed Chance
Jailer 2 has been a massive success in theatres, crossing ₹825 Cr worldwide. An extended cut with the missing scenes of Mohanlal, Vijay Sethupathi and Santhanam would have given fans a reason to watch it all over again. For now, the deleted scenes stay on the editing table.
